orthoboric acid

chemical compound

Borax (also referred to as sodium borate, tincal () and tincar ()) is a salt (ionic compound) normally encountered as a hydrated borate of sodium, with the chemical formula . Borax mineral is a crystalline borate mineral that occurs in only a few places worldwide in quantities that enable it to be mined economically.

thumb|The orthoborate anion, a simple borate anion A borate is any of a range of boron oxyanions, anions containing boron and oxygen, such as orthoborate , metaborate , or tetraborate ; or any salt of such anions, such as sodium metaborate, and borax . The name also refers to esters of such anions, such as trimethyl borate .

Tetranitratoborate is an anion composed of boron with four nitrate groups. It has formula . It can form salts with large cations such as tetramethylammonium nitratoborate, or tetraethylammonium tetranitratoborate. The ion was first discovered by C. R. Guibert and M. D. Marshall in 1966 after failed attempts to make neutral (non-ionic) boron nitrate, , which has resisted attempts to make it; if it exists, it is unstable above −78 °C.

tetrahydroxoborate(1-)

Tetrahydroxyborate is an inorganic anion with the chemical formula or . It contributes no colour to tetrahydroxyborate salts. It is found in the mineral hexahydroborite, , originally formulated . It is one of the boron oxoanions, and acts as a weak base. The systematic names are tetrahydroxyboranuide (substitutive) and tetrahydroxidoborate(1−) (additive). It can be viewed as the conjugate base of boric acid.
